Gold Member BOHICA Posted January 28, 2023 Gold Member Share Posted January 28, 2023 https://theclunkerjunker.com/blog/which-cars-have-thebest-maintenance-costs/ Tesla’s long-term reliability makes them the cheapest luxury brand to maintain, costing just 7.1% of their value, while BMWs will cost you 25.3% of their price in upkeep over a decade. Tesla’s famous Model S is the cheapest luxury vehicle, with maintenance costing just 4.6% of its value in a decade. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Platinum Contributing Member Steve753 Posted January 28, 2023 Platinum Contributing Member Share Posted January 28, 2023 30% and sometimes more decrease in range and efficiency in the cold. Sounds awesome. You'll have to stop and charge every 60 miles if you're towing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Non luxury cars you have to go to gas station to fill up. Luxury cars are the ones that have the option to fill at home. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ya at the gas pumps with the rest of the white trash holding the hoses high in an effort to get every last drop. There is nothing luxury about a vehicle that requires going to a gas station.

It is annoying when people compare them to luxury cars just because they cost alot and have gadgets. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How is going to a charging station any different than going to a gas station, except maybe that it takes much longer for an EV of course.

Faster ones and AWD are in the mid to low $40k after credit. Edited January 28, 2023 by BOHICA Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are being subsidized for a reason. No one would buy them with out. That's why there was a price drop also. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
